Saturday Race

Well, that was a crazy 10 km race today! I am not sure of my official time (still waiting on the results) but I do know I ran a sub 60 minute race today. I am curious to see how I placed.

There were CRAZY steep hills on the course, and so that was challenging! I had to walk up some of the hills. SOOOO steep! The good thing about hills, what goes up, must come down! I could cruise downhill.

I will add the details after!

10.10 km distance = 6.28 miles #500in2010

Tomorrow morning an easy 7 ish.

10k Sunday!

So, I managed to run for 10K pain free. That my friend, is progress. I couldn't be any happier. And to run with two amazing women, extra bonus! Thank you Louise and Kristina! It was great to run into the double digit kms today! I fee great! Thank goodness.

I feel I am getting back into shape (muscle memory!) and my body is changing again. I couldn't be happier. My size 12's are getting baggy. I am having my own boudoir session shot at the end of February, so good timing :D

So, for todays 10k. I LOVED the particular route! I haven't done it for quite some time! Nice.

Sunday Summary

It is has been a crazy weekend. So many of our kids are throwing up. I was up on the couch until 5 a.m. And then out the door at 8 to go for my long Sunday run.

I am just happy that so far I am feeling fine, and so is Cliff. And three other kids. This means ALL of them have had it now. I hope it is the end of the puke.

Oh, and week four of six start for me tomorrow for Slim in Six!

Hump Day - Week Three, Day Three & a Run

Today was a good day, and a bad day. Sick child in the house, a lot of puke. But manageable. My day was so much better than yesterday. I am tired, yes. But happier for sure.

It had to be my decision with regards to running. No pressure. Max 15k. And suddenly all feels right in my world again. I have no rush to run a half or try for the full. I KNOW I can do it.

So, today I did BIU, for 48 minutes (between puke clean up--really!) and laundry. Lots of laundry.

And, a good run tonight as well, and it was nice to run with my friend Louise. It is nice to have friends with fitness goals I must say! It is nice to run and chat about our lives. The runs go a lot quicker that is for sure!

Tomorrow I am doing a brand new DVD called BURN IT UP. And I will do that to the end of the six weeks! I hope it goes well tomorrow!

Week Three - Day Two and a Run!

Ah, the good old days :D (Well, June 2008)

10k, 3rd place in my category. 56:34 (PB for me)

Well, today was one of THOSE days. Yup. A not so nice day, but was better when my cousin popped over with a coffee and a scone for me. And a good hug. And a talk, and suddenly life felt better!

I did my SIS, RIU DVD of 48 minutes, and I can totally feel myself getting stronger which feels great. I also switched into the 10K clinic. And tonight was my first run with the group and it was GREAT. It felt right, and I was right where I wanted to be.

Today, was a good calorie burning day. Last night was our splurge night (nachos, and they were very good) which we give ourselves once a week. Highly enjoyed it. Got really full fast!

I have only eight weeks until our goal race in March. I plan on taking off 2 pounds per week, and hope to run that race 16 pounds lighter. That would make me, 168 pounds. That would be a good start! And of course, I want to beat my 10K time (56:34-Run for Remembrance)
